Finally it seems like show is getting good - not as good as last season but bleh it’s to be expected. But I have to say this was the best performance of the season. Most crews really surprised me in a good way while the others were just plain jane. Surprisingly I felt myself agreeing with Lil’ Mama a lot this week. GASP! What is up with Mario this week? He isn’t a judge. I mean does he realize this or not? Honestly, Mario you’re cute and all but shut the hell up when the judges are talking. With that said on to the review:
Asiid 3.5/5 — It was impressive, much better than last week. The different rolls were good and so original, which was definitely entertaining. Just when I thought ‘oh so that is their task’ they went and pulled another type of ‘roll’. Why no 4? Like Lil’ Mama said it was extremely sloppy throughout the routine. At points it looked like some of the crew was confused on what to do or it just looked like they were all dancing separately instead of like a union. From this performance it is clear that everyone in this group do not perform at the same level, which takes away from the performance. I’m not sure if this is because not everyone in the group is rehearsing as hard or if it’s because the different levels of dancing ability between the members.
Soreal Cru 4/5 — It was such a cute and entertaining performance - original movements to a rather lame task. The beginning was slow and corny, but what saved them from getting less than a 4 was the fact that their movements were together. The hand movement they did at the beginning where then they moved to place was the only turn off for me and the part I thought was lame. Besides that this crew had a good combination of dancing and tricks - kudos to them this week.
Super Cr3w 5/5 — A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. At first I was like what is up with those suits and then I’m like ‘ohhhh’ Superman = Super Cr3w. The jump in the air was jaw dropping - I mean for him to be thrown up so high, land back and continue with the routine so flawlessly… bravo. Air flares? That was just like icing on the cake for me because not only were they extensive, but they were precise. There is nothing worse than a person doing a trick and then not be able to flow back to the dancing moves. Okay so no hardcore dancing moves in this performance but they did their form of dancing: break dancing which is awesome regardless. (They received my vote this week once again.)
Boogie Bots 4/5 — Impressive performance, eh? The word ‘impressive’ does not cover it. When the lights turned off I was just so into the performance. The mixture of dancing and tricks was well done - though I have to mention it did not have enough dancing for my taste. The video game concept was unique enough and certainly made for a good performance from this crew. I enjoyed the fact that they didn’t stick to just one video game which was what I thought they would do but instead had such a variety of game moves. It is obvious from this performance how much this crew works together - they not only know their moves to heart but that of their fellow crew member, which is something that can’t be said of all the crews.
Fanny Pack 3/5 — It was a relatively decent performance. I loved the beginning the shelf things on their feet was a really cute idea and rather unique. But their props and clothing can only go so far. While the dancing was executed well enough I have to say that it was not ‘impressive’. Considering what’s on the line you would think that this crew would show better dancing movements. Not that their dancing moves tonight were bad but this crews skills is seriously lacking in the entertainment factor. Are their moves clean? Yes. Do their moves have me saying ‘oh *beep* that was hot’? No. Overall decent performance but it stood rather plain compared to the previous performances.
Supreme Soul 3.5/5 — I must say I was shockingly surprised with this crew. The peel off I have to disagree with Lil’ Mama and say that it could have been better but it was a good concept. The reason why this group didn’t receive a higher score from me was because of the fact that the performance seemed ‘wack’. Sure enough the song selected sucked and the concept of the elevator was the hardest from all the crews but none of that is an excuse for the lacking of dance moves. When I say ‘lack of dance moves’ I don’t mean that they didn’t dance enough but rather the level of their dance moves was lacking. I mean the performance showed nothing great from them - just the same ol’ thing we all know they can do. Nothing about this performance surprised me but it was still a decent routine overall.
Phresh Select 3/5 & Xtreme Dance Force 3/5 — My predication from last week came true. I was not surprised that these two groups were at the bottom. Both performances were average at best and didn’t showcase enough potential. Honestly speaking however the performance given by Xtreme Dance Force was a lot better for me. Phresh Select has a serious communication issue like they said and it can clearly be seen through their performance. The word sloppy does not begin to describe Phresh Select BUT the performance with Xtreme was a touch sloppy at parts. Just because their task was an earthquake did not mean they had to have sloppy placement. Considering that their task was an earthquake I agree with Shane in saying that Xtreme should have stepped a lot harder. Like I said last week Xtreme Dance Force had to leave this week. Why? As if it isn’t obvious. The level of their potential was not as high as Phresh Select. Phresh Select can do better if they actually try because as of right now all they are giving are half-baked performances.
For next week who do I predict will be at the bottom two? Fanny Pack and Phresh Select. Not only do they have a relatively low fan base compared to the other crews but their performances were definitely lacking this week. Who do I think will leave? Phresh Select.
